To consider the report of the Director of Service Delivery (copy enclosed, Members’ Update to be circulated)*.

A Members’ Update had been circulated prior to the meeting that detailed amendments to both consultations and proposed conditions. It was verbally advised that a further letter of objection had been submitted subsequent to the Members’ Update. However, it was noted that no new material issues had been raised. Following the Officer’s presentation, the Agent, Mr Russell Forde, addressed the Committee.

In response to a question raised around changes to the bungalow submission in front of the Committee the Lead Specialist Place advised that each application was considered on its own merits. Should the applicant change that approach they would have to resubmit to the committee for approval. He further advised that an application of this size did not trigger contributions towards infrastructure needs. The Committee noted that given the history of Inspector approvals in this area it was deemed a sustainable location and that going forwards piecemeal development should be resisted.
